From a World Class Filmmaker (who clearly also happens to be a huge Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers fan) and a World Class Band. Can you imagine being Peter Bogdanovich and his crew producing and directing this film? It would be like a having wet dream! This is getting to live your life all over again as you watch Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' own professional and sometimes personal lives unfold on the screen. How many people get grow up watching the Beatles on TV then go on to not only become BIGGER than them but also gets to actually record music with a couple of them. What would it be like sitting in the studio with George Harrison and Ognir Rrats (a.k.a. - Ringo Starr)? How many people get to actually live "RUNNIN' Down the DREAM"? This of course is a MUST HAVE for any fan of music! You get to see and feel the passion of an average everyday ordinary group of guys reach the pinnacle of their profession with unimaginable succes. You'll be captivated for the entire four hours of music, interviews, rare footage, and live concerts this gifted filmmaker painstakingly enjoyed providing for all to see. We get an inside view, the front row seats if you will, of the band' professional lives at every stage of the Heartbreakers story. Steve Ferrone was clearly the missing link. He instantly made Heartbreakers a much better band the moment he walked in the door. He deserves recognition for his incredible contribution to this band. I need to correct a previous review, so please allow me. To Udey Hussein who wrote a review on 10/20/2007, to quote him, "The included concert is a superb finale to the Heartbreaker's career and is an awesome experience.". What finale? By ANY means this wasn't a finale to TP & the Heartbreakers! They've only just begun, the final chapter hasn't even been written. You should just wish you were among the priviledged few, okay a few MILLION, who actually have been fans for the entire 30 years of TP & the Heartbreakers. This set is something we'll all savor for generations to come!
